Therapists in Winston Salem, NC

The clients I serve find themselves being negatively impacted by unfortunate experiences in their lives. The three most prevalent commonalities are anxiety, stress, and prolonged feelings of sadness or depression. These symptoms can be accompanied by experiences of loss; loss of appetite, money, function, energy, employment, relationships, and oftentimes pleasure. This psychological distress can be rooted in fear, guilt, loneliness, disappointment, anger, resentment, and simple dissatisfaction.

Are you feeling like you are overwhelmed? Do you feel like there is a number of unresolved issues in your life? Do you have a history of trauma that you feel is affecting your life today? Have you noticed that you are withdrawing from others and maybe even isolating yourself? Do you lack the tools to live in society? Is there a lack of supportive people in your life? Do you have a substance issue? Are you self-medicating? Do you find that it is hard to express yourself in social settings? Has someone told you that you have "anger mgmt. issues?" Do you lack healthy coping skills and outlets? Are you constantly negative?

Are you tired of feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Exhausted from trying and trying but nothing seems to work? You want things to get better...you want to feel better, but you just can't figure it out. I work with my clients to restore hope, find solutions, and get back on track.

I provide a client centered approach; promoting an empathetic, safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to feel comfortable sharing their inner thoughts and feelings.

I will assist clients in finding strengths within themselves by teaching positive coping skills and more.

Emotional pain is oftentimes a change agent. Whether it manifests in the form of grief, depression, anxiety, or anger, individuals can learn to manage unwanted symptoms by seeking therapeutic treatment. Throughout the counseling process, my hope is that each person becomes empowered to overcome challenges and embrace opportunities for growth.

Working with a therapist should feel safe, and that has remained one of my top priorities over my 10+ years of providing therapy. Some of my clients have had therapists before, some are changing therapists, and others are brand new to therapy. Many of my clients are working through previous trauma (childhood and adulthood), have experienced complicated loss, and many belong to a marginalized community. Some of my clients benefit from long-term therapy, while others engage in brief therapy to help get back on track to a better quality of life. Wherever you are in this process, I welcome you!
